Shadowrun: Run Faster (Second Printing)

The Cost of Greatness

Every step, every advantage, every millisecond counts. The streets of the Sixth World are mean, and if they want to stay alive, shadowrunners need every advantage they can get to gain a step on the opposition. Fortunately, Run Faster is full of them. With it, you can learn about more metatypes for characters, including hobgoblins, giants, centaurs, and sasquatch; acquire new qualities, such as Disgraced, Hawk Eye, and Lightning Reflexes; and, if you dare, dabble with the dangerous and deadly Infected.

Run Faster also has advice on fleshing out characters of different metatypes, expanded contact and lifestyle rules, and alternate character creation methods to help ensure that players can build exactly the character they want.

All these options make Run Faster a crucial companion to players who want to get the most out of their Shadowrun, Fifth Edition core rulebook.

Shadowrun: Run Faster provides a wealth of options and tools for character development and customization, broadly expanding the choices available for metatypes, qualities and more while also provides background information on the world that can be used [...]

If you are a player of SR5 then it should be the second book you buy after the Core Rulebook. Lots of options, though the organization of the book leaves a bit to be desired. As a player, the $24.99 price pint of the PDF is going to pay off in fun good [...]

Nice format, good layout. Fantastic art. Nice looking scan. Bloody expensive. Book contains several chapters, ranging from alternative character generation, the big ones being sum to ten, where you get numbers instead of letters for your priorities, an [...]

Catalyst has mentioned revamping their editorial process, and it shows fully in Run Faster. I had sworn off buying another Shadowrun book as they're released because of the failure of the majority of the previous releases, but this version helps me fee [...]

This book was exactly what I was hoping for. There are expanded rules for character generation, including rules for creating infected, shapeshifters, changelings, sapient critters like pixies (a personal favorite), and various subspecies of the origina [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
